Adrian Ferguson is pursuing his passion for the arts with Art of Noize, a local Petworth Art Studio. Adrian grew up in Northern Virginia, left for college in Atlanta, and after graduation returned to the DC area to work for the US government. His career in procurement gave him the skills to open his own business, and eventually left the federal workforce. He knew that while Washington DC is home to some of the most venerable art galleries in the nation, the underground art scene in DC was also thriving. However, no middle ground between the two worlds existed.
